Study of Two Kneeling Male Figures c. 17th century

"Study of Two Kneeling Male Figures" is a brown ink drawing by Italian artist Francesco Allegrini, dating back to the 17th century. The piece captures the dynamic poses of two male figures in a kneeling position, providing a glimpse into Allegrini's masterful command of figure drawing. The simplified lines and subtle shading suggest a quick, spontaneous study, possibly a preparatory work for a larger composition. This drawing showcases Allegrini's keen interest in the human form and his ability to depict movement and anatomical detail with remarkable precision.
